PAPER PATTERN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 778,464, dated December27, 1904.

' Application filed September 30, 1904:: Serial No. 226,636-

lb all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLPH SPECHT, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper Patterns, ofwhich the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

My invention relates especially to cut paper patterns, and has for itsobject the provision of simple and accurate means for indicating andlocating the seam-line allowance in such patterns.

To attain the desired end, my invention consists, essentially, inperforating the material of the pattern with a series of perforations,the walls or edges whereof are pointed or acutely angular to indicatethe exact center of the seam-line, all of which will be hereinafterfirst fully described and then pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof, is shown a plan Viewof apattern embodying my invention.

In the drawing, 1 is the body of the pattern, made of paper in the usualmanner. 2 represents perforations in the paper indicating the seam-lineallowance, the walls or edges of said perforations forming acute anglesin the direction of the seam-line.

Heretofore it has been the custom to indicate seam-lines in paperpatterns by means of circular or square perforations; but this does notaccurately indicate the exact line of the seam and mistakes are liableto occur by the user of such pattern taking the inside edge or theoutside edge of the Wall of the perforation as the seam-line, allowingsuch latitude as might destroy the fit of the, completed garment. Suchdifliculty is obviated by my improved pattern, as the points or acuteangles of the wall or edge of each perforation definitely locate theproper seam-line allowance.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim as new therein,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

As a new article of manufacture, a cut paper pattern having theseam-line allowance indicated by a series of perforations the walls oredges whereof are pointed, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

ADOLPH SPECHT.
